Oahu
I was able to experience one of the things I want to try at least once in my life in Hawaii. Everything was perfect, from the reservation to the pick-up on the day, the diving, and the ride back to the city. I participated alone, but I had no worries. The videos and digital photos turned out great, and the videos were made so well that it felt like watching a TV show. You can even make reservations on the same day.
Now, regarding the skydiving, I can honestly say that words or text cannot express it. The view below was like Google Earth, and I couldn't even imagine floating in that space before jumping out of the plane. I screamed loudly until I landed. Being thousands of meters in the air was an extraordinary experience.
The instructors were all professionals and very cheerful, which helped ease my tension. Thank you very much to the Japanese male guide and everyone at the tour company. Although I am quite old, I want to try diving again.
人生で一度はやってみたいことの一つをハワイで体験できました。予約から当日の迎えとダイビング、そして帰りに市内まで送っていただいたこと、すべて完ぺきです。一人参加でしたが不安もありません。ビデオやデジタル写真もうまくできていて、ビデオなどはまるでTV番組を見るかのようにうまく作ってくれます。これらの申し込みは当日でOKです。
さて、肝心のスカイダイビングですがはっきり言って言葉や文字では現せません。眼下の景色はまるでグーグルアースのようで、その空間に自分が浮かぶ?とは想像もできないまま飛行機から空中に飛び出します。着地するまで大声を上げ続けました。何千メートルの空中に居ること自体超非日常です。
インストラクターの方々もみなさんプロですし、すごく陽気でこちらの緊張感をほぐしていただきました。ガイドの日本人男性、ツアー会社様皆様どうもありがとうございます。当方相当の年ですが、もう一度ダイビングやってみたいと思ってます。
I also went flying in Guam, but the scenery is better in Hawaii! The tandem master in Hawaii was more cheerful (the one in Guam was very cool, haha). I think there are hits and misses, but I had a great time. Plus, with a pickup at 5:30 AM, we were back before 11:00, so you can make good use of your time!
グアムでも飛びましたが、景色はハワイの方がイイです!
ダンデムマスターもハワイの方が陽気で、(グアムはとてもクールな人でした笑)当たりハズレあると思いますがとても楽しめました。
また時間も朝5:30ピックアップで11:00前には帰ってこれたので、時間を有効に使えますよ!
I tried skydiving for the first time this time. I was picked up at 5:30 in the morning and arrived in about an hour. After waiting for about two hours upon arrival, my name was called, and I was introduced to the instructor. We didn't have a cameraman, but the instructor used a GoPro to take photos for us. Although some instructors don't take many photos, we were lucky to have one who took a lot of pictures even before we boarded the plane, so I was very satisfied with the photos after the dive.
Once on the plane, I was excited and filled with adrenaline rather than fear. However, when it came time to jump and I looked straight down, I felt scared. The instructor repeatedly reminded us about the position of our hands and feet, saying to keep them in an "arched back" position. I think the phrase "being thrown out" fits better than "jumping."
The one-minute descent made it hard to breathe, and I had to clear my ears several times. I couldn't really laugh, and most of my photos turned out to be tense expressions... During the descent, the speed was so fast that I didn't have time to feel scared (laughs).
When the parachute opened, I felt relieved and was finally able to calm down.
I bought both photos and videos (they were quite expensive), but I think it's worth trying at least once.
今回初めてスカイダイビングに挑戦してきました。朝5時半に迎えにきてもらい、1時間ほどで着きました。着いてから2時間ほど待ったところ名前を呼ばれインストラクターを紹介されました。私たちはカメラマンを付けずインストラクターのGo proにて撮影をしてもらいました。インストラクターによって写真を全然撮ってくれないかんじでしたが、運よく飛行機に乗る前からいろいろ撮ってくれる方だったのでダイブ後はすごく満足のいる写真ばかりでした。
飛行機に乗り、恐怖というよりアドレナリンで興奮しておりわくわくしていました。しかし、いざ飛ぶ時になって真下を見ると怖かったです。何回もインストラクターが飛ぶ時の手の位置・足を「海老ぞり」にと何度も言ってくれました。
飛ぶというより放り投げられるという言葉が合っていると思います。
1分もの降下は呼吸がしづらく耳抜きを数回しました。なかなか笑うことが出来ず、ひきつった写真ばかりでしたが・・・
降下中は速度が速すぎて恐怖を感じる暇もなかったです(笑)
パラシュートが開かれると安心しやっと落ち着くことができました。
写真とビデオ両方買いました(かなり高額ですが)
一度はやってみるのも良いと思います。
It was my first time to skydive. At 68 years old, I was pretty scared and nervous. Warren was my partner and he was great, talking to me and making me feel less nervous. I must say the first seconds I thought I was going to die, but after the initial jumping it was thrilling. Warren showed me lots of scenery by turning and maneuvering the chute many different directions. All the other staff I had contact with were friendly. I was surprised at how many people were already at the facility when we reached it at 8:30 a.m. but they kept things moving along quickly and we did not have to wait very long to climb into our plane. I was disappointed that I was not allowed to take my GoPro. Thanks for a great time! I
Amazing!! A "must do" for any new visitor. Even my spouse who lived here before saw things that he had not seen before.
The moment I got off the plane was scary, but once I fell, it was over in an instant! I should have enjoyed it more without closing my eyes! The instructors were all professionals, so I was able to fly safely and have fun♪ It's a company that has never had an accident, so it's safe!
飛行機から降りる瞬間が怖かったですが、落ちてしまえばあっという間!!
目を閉じずに、もっと楽しめば良かった!!
インストラクターもプロばかりなので、安心して楽しんで飛べました♪
一度も事故したことがない会社なので、安全です!
Very cool skydiving. Jumping out at14000ft and pulled out the parachute at 6000ft.
I was nervous about my first skydiving experience, but it was so much fun. The weather was clear, and I could see all of Oahu from above; it was beautiful. I want to participate again!
はじめてのスカイダイビングでどきどきでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
天気も晴れておりオアフ島を上空から一望でき、とても綺麗でした。
また参加したいと思います!
You will be picked up early in the morning and travel to the point by bus, which takes about an hour. During this time, you will fill out a form with your name and check items. There are about 50 check items, but it will be finished quickly. (Don't worry, a pen will be provided.) After that, a video explaining the skydiving procedures will be played continuously, so you can learn from it. It's fine to just go with the flow!
Once you arrive, you will be asked if you have missed any items on the form and whether you want to purchase photos or videos. You can decide on the video after watching it, so that's okay too. After that, you will need $1 (four 25-cent coins) to put your belongings in a locker. There is also a change machine, so you don't need to worry if you don't have coins!
By the way, it's customary to tip the diver who will jump with you, around $20 (though it's not mandatory, since they are entrusting your life to them, I think it's nice to at least give $20. You can decide after the jump as well). If you request photos or videos, tips for the people taking them will also be expected. I recommend bringing extra cash.
Now! You might not feel it while jumping, but it was quite cold on the way up in the Cessna. (It might have been because I went in January.) It was a lot of fun, and the weather was great, so the scenery was amazing! I would love to do it again!
As a side note, the free WiFi was very slow and hardly usable. I plan to rent a proper one in Japan or elsewhere in the future.
早朝にピックアップされ、バスで1時間ぐらいかけてポイントまで移動します。その際に、渡される用紙に名前やチェック項目などを記入。チェック項目は50ぐらいありますが、すぐ終わります。(ペンも渡されますのでご心配なく)あとはスカイダイビングの手順動画がずっと流れているのでそれを見て学習。適当で大丈夫ですw
到着したら、用紙の記入漏れがないかと、写真やムービーの購入をするかを問われます。ムービーは見てから決めますでも大丈夫だそうです。その後荷物をロッカーに入れるのに1$(25セント4枚)が必要になります。両替機もあるのでコインがなくても大丈夫!
ちなみに、一緒に飛んでくれるダイバーの人にチップ20$〜(絶対ではないそうですが、自分の命を預けて飛んでくれるので最低でも20$はあげたいですね。飛んだ後に決めてもいいと思いますよ)写真やムービーも頼んだら、その撮ってくれる方達にもチップが発生するそうです。余分に現金を持っていくのをオススメします。
さて!飛ぶときはそう感じないですが、セスナで上空に行くまでがかなり寒かったです。(1月に行ったからかもしれませんが)とっても楽しく、天気もよかったので景色も最高!またやりたいと思いました!
余談ですが、無料特典のWiFiは通信がとても遅く、全然使えませんでした。ちゃんと日本などで今後はレンタルしていきたいと思います。
It was a few minutes that made me realize how many fun things there are in the world. Filming with a GoPro was also a great memory. I definitely want to fly again when I go to Hawaii.
世の中こんなに楽しいことがあったんだ、と実感した数分の出来事でした。
GOPROでの撮影もとても良い記念になりました。
ハワイに行ったら是非また飛びたいと思います。
Meeting in the morning is early! First, during the approximately one hour it takes to arrive at the airport, you'll be signing documents (contracts). There are about 30 to 40 items, so reading and signing each one can be quite a task (especially since you might be sleepy from waking up early). During this time, the person who will be providing transportation will also give explanations. They talk quite a bit. Among the explanations for the documents, they will uniquely discuss the wonders of skydiving, so please pay attention to the key points. Video and camera shooting during the dive are available for an additional fee (around $100 to $140). I saw the video of someone who ordered it, and it was quite amazing. I recommend it for those who want to capture memories.
Here, a word of caution is necessary. Since the ride goes over bumpy roads while looking at the screen and documents, even though I usually don’t get car sick, I felt nauseous! If you are prone to motion sickness, please be careful! Just before arrival, they will emphasize the key points of the documents again. After arriving at the airport, there will be a document check, and any deficiencies will be pointed out, so be careful! After that, in our case, we waited nearly two hours until skydiving (which seems to be the standard waiting time). By the way, you will be asked to store your luggage in lockers to some extent. You will need coins, but you can exchange money (you can use $1 or $5 bills). Even those who did not order video shooting for an additional fee can take photos with their smartphones until they board the plane.
The instructors can vary a bit. The female instructor who speaks Japanese was very kind, and you can operate the parachute yourself, but not everyone is like that. If you get someone who doesn’t speak Japanese… However! When you go skydiving, such things are minor! A world unlike any other opens up! Please experience the moment when fear turns into exhilaration! This experience cannot be expressed in words! Lastly, please prepare a separate $20 tip for the instructor (and bring other tip money as well).
朝集合は、早いです!まず、飛行場に到着する約1時間の間に、書類(契約書)にサインしていきます。項目は、だいたい30~40くらい?!あるので、一つ一つ読み、サインする作業は、結構大変(早朝に起きて眠たいこともあり)。その間、送迎して下さる方の説明も入ります。かなり、話されます。書類の書き方説明の中に、スカイダイビングの素晴らしさを個性的に話して下さいますので、要点を捉えて聞いて下さい。ダイビング中のビデオ撮影や、カメラ撮影は別料金(100㌦~140㌦くらい)です。注文されたかたのビデオを見ましたが 、かなり素晴らしい出来です。思い出を形に残したい方におすすめ。ここで、注意が必要です。画面と書類見ながら悪路を行くので、普段車酔いしない私ですが、酔いました‼酔いやすいかた、注意して下さい‼到着直前に、再び、書類の要点だけをかなり強調して話されます。飛行場到着後、書類のチェックがあり、不備をどんどん指摘されますので、ご注意を!その後、スカイダイビングまで、私たちの場合は、2時間近く待ちました(スタンダードな待ち時間のようです)。因みに、荷物をある程度ロッカーに預けるよう言われます。コインが必要ですが、両替できます(1㌦or5㌦紙幣が使えます)。カメラ撮影などを別料金で注文しなかった人も、飛行機に乗るまでなら、自分のスマホなどで撮影できます。
インストラクターの方は、やや当たり外れがあります。日本語を話せる女性のインストラクターの方は、とても親切で、パラシュートの操作も自分でできますが、みんなそうではありません。日本語が話せない方に当たると……。しかし!スカイダイビングをするとそんな事は、小さな事!今までにない世界が広がります‼恐怖が、爽快感にかわる瞬間を是非味わって下さい!この体験は、言葉では表せません‼最後に、インストラクターの方に、別途20㌦のチップが必要ですので、ご準備を。(他チップ代は、持って行って下さい)。
We had Jim as our pilot entertained us with facts and fun! You need to do this to see Hawaii as it was. He got in close to the mountains and the falls where you could never hike it was unforgettable and worth every penny ! Thanks Jim !
Thanks, Tomas, for your nice review. I'm happy that you enjoyed your tour with Jim. Please come visit us again.
We had a fantastic time jumping out of a plane in hawaii. The views are amazing. I will do this again.
What a great day. The flight was great, pilot was fantastic.
Would highly recommend.
I had always thought about trying skydiving, and I finally did my first jump this time. I generally dislike heights and can't handle roller coasters, but when I actually jumped, it felt amazing! The instructors were also very friendly and did a great job of easing my anxiety, allowing me to dive with confidence.
一度はスカイダイビングを、と思っていて今回やっと初ダイブしました。
基本高いところは嫌いでジェットコースターもダメなのですが、実際に飛ぶと最高の気分でした!またインストラクターの人たちもとてもフレンドリーで、上手く不安を解消してくれて安心してダイブできました。
The BEST experience I've had yet. Mom loved it and I totally caught the bug! I'll be back again FOR SURE.
So impressed with the efficiency of this place. I've jumped at a few locations and by far this was the best run. Had a great jump with Brandon, I'd been a few times so we did some flips and he let me pull the cord. Highly recommend, beautiful views of Oahu.
This was on my sixty-seven year old father's bucket list and it made his trip to Hawaii. I highly recommend, even for nervous fliers. Quite serene actually. Thank you Mr. Bill and pilot J.J. for a wonderful trip!
I was able to fully enjoy the skies of Hawaii!! Before I could even think about being scared, I fell from the helicopter, so I wasn't scared at all, haha. The instructor was friendly, and I was very satisfied!
ハワイの空を堪能できました!!
怖いとか思う前にヘリコプターから落ちるので、怖さはまったくなかったです笑
インストラクターの人ともフレンドリーで、大満足です!
The team was funny but pro at the same time. My Tandem master had a different type of humor, but all in all definitely from start to end, it was a very positive experience
I had a great time. I experienced skydiving in Guam as well, but Hawaii was definitely more beautiful!
とても楽しかったです。
スカイダイビングはグアムでも経験しましたが、断然ハワイのほうが綺麗でした!
So high!!!! I want to do it again!
高!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!またやりたいです!
It was absolutely amazing! On the way to Pacific Skydiving, there was heavy rain, but it cleared up beautifully, and I was so impressed by my luck!
When we ascended to 4,000 meters in the Cessna, I was nervous, but the instructor helped ease my tension. When it was time to jump, the instructor jumped without giving me a moment to hesitate, which actually made it less scary.
I was so moved that I could hardly express it; it was difficult to open my eyes or breathe, but I desperately tried to keep my eyes open to take in the incredible scenery.
The view was truly beautiful and magnificent, and I felt so touched by it. I really think everyone should try skydiving at least once in their lifetime! I want to do it again!!
とにかく、最高でした!パシフィックスカイダイビングに向かう途中では大雨だったのに、綺麗に晴れて運の良さに感動しました!
セスナに乗って高度4000mまで上がるとき、緊張していたけれどインストラクターの方が緊張をほぐしてくれました。飛び降りる時は、躊躇う隙もなくインストラクターが飛び降りてくれたので逆に怖くなかったです。
言葉に表せないくらい感動して、目を開けるのも息をするのも苦しかったけれど、せっかくの景色を目に焼き付けようと必死に目を開けました。
本当に綺麗で壮大な景色にとても感動しました。
一生に一度はスカイダイビングするべきだと思いました!またやりたいです!!
We participated as a family of four!
We were picked up from the hotel at 5 AM, and although we were worried about the strong winds until the day before, we were blessed with good weather and headed to the site while watching an explanation video in the van.
We booked a GoPro and a photographer for a 3:1 shoot, and the photographer did an excellent job capturing the moment we jumped out of the Cessna and the plane flying away. The GoPro also took impressive close-up shots.
We were amazed by the breathtaking views of the ocean and mountains in Hawaii!
It was a very satisfying skydiving experience!
We arrived back at the hotel around 10 AM, and since it was Black Friday, we were able to go shopping right away. I highly recommend Hawaii!
家族4人で参加しました!
朝5時にホテルからピックアップをしてもらい、
前日まで風が強くて心配していましたが、天気にも恵まれてワゴン車で説明のビデオを見ながら現地へ。
ゴープロとカメラマンの撮影と3:1での撮影を申し込み、
さすがカメラマンの撮影はセスナから飛び降りる瞬間や飛行機が離れていく姿を的確に撮影してくれました。又ゴープロは近くで迫力ある写真を撮影していただきました。
ハワイの海と山との絶景すぎる絶景に感動しました!
大満足のスカイダイビングでした!
ホテルに10時ごろ到着しました、この日はブラックフライデーのバーゲンで買い物にも早々いけました。ハワイの空おすすめします!
I have always wanted to try skydiving, and during our honeymoon in Hawaii, my husband, who had experienced it before, and I participated in our first skydiving adventure.
On the shuttle bus, we ended up with a group of foreigners, and when we arrived at the site, the instructions were given separately from the Japanese group, which made it hard to understand as everything was in English. I felt anxious and dissatisfied until we jumped.
However, the skydiving experience was amazing! I had a great time flying high with the instructor, and the view was beautiful—absolutely the best! ☆☆☆
Once the parachute opened, I usually don’t get motion sickness, but I thought I might feel a bit dizzy when floating down, so it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand.
以前からスカイダイビングをやりたくて、新婚旅行のハワイで、以前に体験した事のある旦那と私は初のスカイダイビングに参加。
送迎バスでは外人グループのバス?になり、現地に着いての説明も、日本人グループと離れており英語で説明されよくわからないまま飛ぶまでは不安と不満がありましたが、
スカイダイビングは、インストラクターの方とテンション高く楽しく飛べて、景色も綺麗で最高でした☆☆☆
パラシュートを開いてからは、私は酔わないタイプですが、フワッとした時に酔いそうだなと思ったので、酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が良いかもです。
I have lived for nearly 60 years, and this was my first experience; it was wonderful. It didn't feel like falling from the sky, but rather like floating in the air. I felt as if I transcended everything, and my perspective on life might change. I highly recommend it to everyone who hasn't tried it yet. The staff was very kind and attentive to safety, so I had no worries at all.
人生60年近く生きてきましたが初めての体験素晴らしかったです。
空から落ちていると言う感覚ではなくて空に浮かんでいると言う感覚です。
すべてのものを超越して人生観が変わりそうな気がしました。すべてのものを超越して人生観が変わりそうな気がしました
まだ飲んだことのない皆さんには是非是非オススメです。
スタッフもとても親切で安全にも気を配ってくれますので全く心配はいりませんでした。
After the early morning pickup, we filled out some paperwork in the car. We arrived first, and as we listened to the explanation, the sky began to brighten. Once the parachute opened, we had some fun spinning around, but I did feel a bit dizzy. It was an amazing experience to enjoy Hawaii from above. I had to wait quite a while because I purchased photos, but it seems that if you don't buy them, you can return to Waikiki relatively quickly.
朝早くのピックアップ後、車中では書類の記入がありました。一番に到着し、説明を聞いている間に空も明るくなってきました。パラシュートが開いてからは、くるくる回って下さったり楽しませて下さいましたが、少し酔ってしまいました。ハワイを上空から楽しむ事ができ、最高の体験でした。写真を購入したためかなり待ちましたが、購入されない場合は、わりと早い時間にワイキキまで戻れるようです。
I enjoyed it without any particular problems. However, the hotel departure was at 5:30 AM, which was too early for breakfast, and I ended up wasting the hotel meal coupon. I hope you can reconsider the departure time to avoid waste.
Additionally, this tour did not have an option for insurance, and all Japanese travel accident insurance was unavailable. There were other tours that offered insurance as an option, so it would be good to have that available as well.
特に問題なく楽しめました。ただ朝一はホテル出発が5:30と早く、朝食がとれずホテルのミールクーポンが 無断になりました。少し出発をずらせられれば無駄にする事もないので再考を望みます。
また、このツアーは保険加入のオプションがなく、日本の旅行傷害保険も全て加入が不可でした。他のツアーで保険加入がオプションで可能なものもありましたのでオプションで加入が出来る設定があると良いのでは?
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the tour schedule on the day of your visit.
Regarding the tour schedule, we will strive to improve our services to provide our customers with a variety of options in the future. Please understand that we do not offer insurance options for skydiving.
Thank you for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

I tried it for the first time! Since I came to Hawaii for my honeymoon, I decided to give it a shot. The moment I took off was scary, but that fear quickly turned into excitement (^_^). When I landed back on land, I thought, "I'm glad I did it."
初めてやってみました!
ハネムーン旅行でハワイに来たのだからと思い立って挑戦してみました。
飛ぶ瞬間は怖かったがすぐに恐怖が楽しさに変わります(^_^)
陸まで着地すると「やってよかった」と思いました。
I did it for the first time this time, and it was amazing. The feeling of weightlessness was just a little, but it was a great experience. Since it's early in the morning, I have to be careful not to drink too much the night before, or I'll feel sick. My wife also did it and said she was glad she did.
今回初めてやりましたが最高でした。無重力な気分は少しだけですが、良い体験が出来ました。朝早いので前の日に飲み過ぎないようにしないと気持ち悪くなってしまいます。妻もやりましたがやってよかったと言ってました。
